Answer:

x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, you first line up the sides. Then, because the 16 and the 24 line up together, you divide them to find out how much bigger the first triangle is, which is 3/2 or 1.5. After that, you can see that the 21 and the x are on the same side, so you would divide 21 by 1.5 or 3/2 to get x. 21÷1.5=14.

x=14

Answer: X= 14

Step-by-step explanation: line AC equals 21 and line BC equals 24, i put 24 over 21 like a fraction then i look at the smaller triangle now EF is proportionate too BC so next to the 24 i put 16 and line DF is X so you put X underneath 16 and next too 21. now you cross multiply and divide leaving you with 14 so line DF or X is 14

Question 7 of 10<br> What is the solution to this equation
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 4(x+5) = 40 (Given)

x + 4x + 20 = 40 (Distribute the 4 into the x and 5)

5x + 20 = 40 (Add like terms)

5x = 20 (Subtract 20 on both sides)

x = 4 (Divide 5 on both sides)

How do I solve this out??
GuDViN [60]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

(x, y) = (7, -5)

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

It generally works well to follow directions.

The matrix of coefficients is ...

\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&4\\-5&3\end{array}\right]

Its inverse is the transpose of the cofactor matrix, divided by the determinant. That is ...

\dfrac{1}{26}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&-4\\5&2\end{array}\right]

So the solution is the product of this and the vector of constants [-6, -50]. That product is ...

... x = (3·(-6) +(-4)(-50))/26 = 7

... y = (5·(-6) +2·(-50))/26 = -5

The solution using inverse matrices is ...

... (x, y) = (7, -5)

Using this formula, how many sides does a polygon have if the sum of the interior angles is 1,260°? Round to the nearest whole n
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

9 Sides

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

  • Given That, The sum of the interior angles(s), in an n-sided polygon can be determined using the formula s=180(n−2), where n is the number of sides

Therefore, The sides do a polygon have if the sum of the interior angles is 1,260°.

Put The Values in Formula, we get

1260=180(n−2)

n-2 = 7

n=9 (9 Sides)

PLEASE HELP ME I AM HORRIBLE AT TRIGONOMETRY!!! TRIANGLES ARE SO HARD!!!
OleMash [197]

Answer:

A construction worker may use trigonometry when building the roof of a house. They may have to calculate the right angle that hypotenuse must sit at so water doesn't build up on the roof and cause leaks.

(this may be more of an architect's job, as they are the ones that design the houses)

or

An air traffic controller may use trigonometry to find how long it will take an airplane to land/how far the airplane is from the ground while it is in the sky (hypotenuse), based on its height from the ground (opposite) and the distance away from the runway it is (adjacent). They can also calculate the angle of elevation of the airplane from the tower they work in.
